Blessins on blessins on blessins

This transfer is flying by so fast. We have been trying to find so many people like crazy. Hermana Kelly has been sick these past few days so I've been on splits with different Hermanas so we can still continue to work hard.

A little bit about the people of Brownsville. Hmmm    My Mom wants me to explain the culture and stuff. Haha

The people here are super giving and always tell us they appreciate spreading the word. They literally live in shacks but are so loving and supporting of us that they are always willing to feed us anything they have. There are some neighborhoods that have super nice houses hidden around Brownsville. But then you see that neighborhood and then the next left is a street full little tiny houses with boatloads of mangy cats and dogs roaming the streets. There are a lot of people that love us but then there are people who literally shut the door before we can say what we are doing.

We literally see México when we are riding our bikes. There is a bridge that cars and people cross everyday just to get some groceries here then they go back haha.

We had a baptism for this girl Yossellin. She was going to get baptized in Matamoros but she always is in our ward. She's been coming to church for 4 years. So we met with her and then a week later she was baptized. She was super nervous about it too.

The spirit has been directing us to where we need to go.

We are teaching some awesome people right now.

Angel y Blanca- They have 3 kids and they love when we come over. They went to church with us last week and they loved every minute of it. They have a baptismal date for the 21st but they need to get married before. And he has to deal with some stuff in Mexico. So hopefully that can happen before the 21st. But other then that they are so golden. They have been having some trials and they said that things have been falling into place and they know that it's because they pray as a family and they went to church.


Selene-She's so awesome! We found her knocking an apartment complex. And we gave her a Book of Mormon and marked 3 Nephi 11. We were knocking around her apartment one night and we decided to go try by her. She was there. We explained the Book of Mormon and gave a restoration lesson. She was crying and she told us that she was looking for a sign and we are her sign. We asked her if she wants to get baptized and she said yes. She has a baptismal date for the 28th.

Adrinda-We met her one night when we were knocking randomly. She's super cool. We taught her the Plan of Salvation and she started crying. She told us she never knew that she would be able to see her family again because her grandma died a little bit ago. We asked her if she wanted to get baptized. She said yes but she has to ask her mom. She's like 24. But we were like yeah ask your mom haha.

Ramon- This dude is soooo awesome. He definitely has the spirit with him. He loved our lesson on the restoration. Right after that he was like now I'm going to go and read that book (Book of Mormon) and the pamphlet. Ahh I love it!

Johnny-He works at a restaurant and is always offering us food from his work. We invited him to read the book of mormon. He's so sweet to us. His wife lives in Matamoros for school. So he's always alone. But he said he'll read and let us know if he has any questions.

Samir Jr- He's getting baptized this Sunday at like 9am because his Dad works every day and only has Sunday morning until 3 that he is free. So he wanted to do the baptism in the morning. Haha we'll try to have it happen.

The people we are teaching are so amazing and the spirit is always with us when we are teaching them. It's crazy how God has put us in the right place at the right time. He has brought us to people for a reason. He answers our prayers.

A few days ago we had a warning for a hurricane...that never came...dang it! It dumped for 2 days and we biked in it. 

I don't remember if I mentioned this before or not but we don't have a car anymore. We're on our bikes all day every day. Anyway we biked through the rain and it was so fun. But then a few days after Hermana Kelly got sick. Haha 

We were soaking all day long. It was so fun though. We were just watching the lightening while biking haha.

I love it here in Brownsville. The people are growing on us and they love us so much. The spirit is with us constantly. I love being able to follow it and receive the blessings that come from God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true. The more I teach it and read more about it the more my testimony is strengthened. I love being able to help people recognize the blessings they are receiving when they do the things that God wants them to do.

 

I love you all and I love being a missionary

Hope your enjoying your families, work, school, going to church, reading your scriptures, praying, and being yourself. Let me know if ya need anything.
